I wish he worked with the gift he has, his carisma.
I don t understand how he would allow anybody to touch fisically his children, how he would let his kids be married to who they probably dislike and probably allow body punishment as a way of keeping them pure.
WHY?
Why don t use that carisma to help his doughters and grand doughters.
We know that Sharia law is still based on fisical pain.
Why?
Why don t use his carisma to help his kids?
Why don t use his hart for that as wll not just for the freedom of palestine that it will happen probably sooner than most think.
The world is watching and acting on it but it would be a disservice to all human kind if we don t unite in to free the world of human suffering.
Please if alive be a ruler of peace and love not a ruler of fear and hate.
I pray for all of us.
I pray that the One that can ...will all those children need him to show his people the right way.
If alive I beg him to help the world heal.
A fish in the desert is never happy, go to the waters, go to the see and get guidance from God.
I wish you and us all the best, I wish your heart to be open and full of wonder.
Life will be better, human conscience is at work , no more violence...there is no need.
Hope for all of us a giving and reciving life, the gift of empathy and love is a difficult but very prodactive way to make this life a better life for all and I am convinced that it will help when we meet with God or Alla .
White light and peace to all.

...attract ...

Why?
If he is truly alive..I would like to know why, why create more walls instead of creating a larger group of followers?
Why come back and make a good cause look bad?
The average American is fighting to survive and more so to stay healthy..easy to talk when you have all or..if You have nothing at all.

many Americans have just enough energy to pay the medical bills, they are in contact every day with wealth but they can t achieve it often them self's.

Don t be mad at the poor working American, he or she is just barely surviving, don t threaten the life of people that are already in trouble, they are totally unaware of any wrong doing, they just fallow main stream news but..they have a heart of gold and they will share the last drop of water.

Talking about going against all the American is beneath a smart and fair man.
In a building , a government building there are many nice people working that are just moms that do what they can to maintain the offspring's.
I am sad that the full moon is effecting all of us.
I don t think that he is alive but if he is I would love to interview him, i would love to know what all that anger really comes from, what happened to his friends, to his family, what was that made him really say enough is enough.
I would love to ask him what role he really would have loved to have.
I would ask all things that shows him human, with all his good and all his bad, with regrets, with sadness, all that makes him who he is and what really were his intentions.
I would do it because it could open many eyes, if people connect with him they could understand better what is the real issue, that he is not a crazy man, but a very tired man, tired of seeing indifference for so many years to causes that are of fairness and equality. I would love to know what could be a different way a no bi est way to have total world peace.
If he was alive I would love to sit with him and have a face to face meeting as long as he respect my dress code and does not impose a head scarf...or I will dress like a man, cut my hear and be an equal for few hours.
I would do the interview with out knowing where he resides, eyes close somebody that guides me, music in my ears...I would not want to know if he is in France, China or Russia I don't like pain and don t want to dye.
I would be fair and I would probably ask questions that may annoy him but.. though, sometimes all is needed.
If it ever happen I would give 80% of the profit from the interview to causes that are help to Palestine ,from water to energy, homes and vegetable gardens, counsellors..all that would be of help with out taking away.
With out promoting violence, just exposing the silliness of the occupier, not by violence but by brain, not a mussel war.. a brain one, an intellectual one, we have the spiritual one already in battle, we, sometimes need rest.
I know that normally I am very patient, I know that I would never hurt anything or anybody and that if I express my self in a nice way, if I let my heart come forward, not my anger..life is easier, life is beautiful because I attack beautiful people and situations
Fighting..takes it all away, that energy attracts more of the dark and sad energy. Ouch!

I had enough of the lack of empathy, I started acting in a strange way, sad and depress and angry for the injustice that I experience.
I could not even go close to work with out feeling sick to my stomach, nausea every day before walking in.
I can only imagine how people obliged to endure bulling for 60 years feel.
I truly and positively understand. What I don t condone is the violence in achieving a fair conclusion, is in my view not the best direction, probably unproductive.
To be violent would not be very positive for the Palestinians who's story's are finally coming to light, when we react to abuse we become the bullies our self's, the same actions we despise back to haunt us.
I would keep the 20% for friend and family alike and other causes that others may not really care for.
I think it could be a good life lesson for many and I think it could help to solve the real issue instead of putting always bandages.
I still don t think is him or we could see him in videos with the date posted on it.
So..I think he is dead, or.. he is in total dislike of his profile and sick therefore, not as charming as he would like to be.
So if he is there ..hope to ask him questions directly ...don t want t to know where at all just when ..and off ..i would go. One full day of work together and back where I came from.
Would like to know...or at least try to know the other side of him, the soft man, the man that is so strong that he can be himself ,he can be loving and look for peace.
The man that would like to see his gran kids happy and equal, see them with out worries and with healthy pride in them self's.
In one of the transcript he was very moderate and very clear and I felt his anger but i did not feel the hate.
If I am meant to be the one or an other...I hope somebody does..would be the best way in my opinion to get the world to all the sad and horrible injustice caused to many Palestinians .
Inshallah!
If nobody interviews him in the next 6 month..to me he is dead and this calls are just a way for some to keep the memory alive or..to have a bit of the power that he , Osama Bin Laden had, the charisma can t be copied so..
Will see ...and please remember that if I do ever meet Osama I don t wan t to know anything about were and how long...me take sleeping pill and no nothing.
I am just a crazy person some will say and yes ..is possible that i am a bit closer to it than many...but...I still believe that all can change, that good people do bad things but are still good people that if You like your diversity you can keep it as long as it does not enslave anybody..
I dream of an equal and prosperous world, prosperity as in abundance for all and of all that makes us happy with out hurting others in the process

If I was the one to interview him ...I would like to let my roomate know that I am gone for just 3 days or..my beatifull loving friends will be worried .
Lot s of love and peace for all of us, from the Palestinians to the Americans, for all.

In the Human Mind:
Developing the New Antithesis for a Global Reality Check

I am deeply unnerved by our current state of affairs in our world today, and I am therefore inclined to use this platform to write about it here. Recently, Al Gore has written a book entitled "The Assault on Reason," which has heavily influenced my thinking in this paper. His book has allowed me to take a look back at the Bush Administration and notice all of the failures and inefficiencies wrapped up in a global conspiracy centered on an energy crisis. American hegemony is perpetuated by a greedy need for energy resources, and how we will do anything to secure a foothold to ensure a stake of energy deposits to perpetuate that hegemony, all translates to neo-colonialist endeavors and the illicit fabrication of wars. This mentality absolutely frightens me for the future of our human species, and every other living thing on this planet, and this mentality must stop. I am also writing from the perspective shared by Christopher Hitchens' book entitled "God is Not Great," which is an introductory book that alludes to the naïve necessity for religious dogma in our contemporary world affairs. In this paper, I endeavor to suggest that religion has a stake in the matter for our current dilemma that we now face as a nation, and that religion is no longer necessary in a world dominated by economies, which creates the current religious defacto dichotomy between the industrialized Western nations and the Sharia law dependent Middle Eastern ones. My atheistic stance is an enlightened one, and only the power of reason can guide us through to a brighter future for all of humankind.

I fear the direction that we have built for ourselves is bleak. The path that we humans are on is a path of destruction, bloodshed, and death. There are only moments that we do not know of war to create an illusion that we are not warlike, although hatred perpetually exists in the minds of men and women only to be exacerbated and explode at any moment. The current path that we are on is not a good one, and I fear that we will not see peace before we eradicate ourselves, and every living thing on this planet. When one stops to think about it, we not really that much different than the other animals of our Animal Kingdom, where the weak are eaten, and only the strong survive. Societies have a way of emulating this fundamental natural phenomenon, and it is difficult to live in a world where societies who emulate nature depend so whole-heartedly upon faiths. Al Gore summarizes the bleak direction that America is heading in, unless we as Americans speak up, or in my case write up. I believe that American morals were stolen from us and are currently being misrepresented across the world as tyrannical, and this must be changed in order for a healthier environment to prevail.

In order to fully deconstruct the reality of religion and its necessity in contemporary societies, we must first strive to understand its origins. For starters, we can begin with the question, why is it that we are willing to place all of our faith within the original founders of them that were unequivocally less advanced in the past, to perpetuate belief systems that were begun under most often oppressive circumstances?

The worst thing that has ever happened to our planets' various ecosystems is the progressive advancement of the human species. Ingenuity born in the minds of men and women has created an evolutionary imbalance between us and the other species that we coexist with in our respective biodiversities. The quicker we became at adapting to situations, as in modifying our surroundings to suit our needs (i.e. the modification of chipped-stone tools and acquisition of fire), which were then passed on through cultural memes, allowed for the displacement of a more dominant species within our respective ecosystems.

Since the dawn of the human species, out on the African Savannahs, as we scavenged for food to survive amongst our counterparts in the Animal Kingdom to fulfill our roles and niches in an evolving ecosystem becoming slowly more dominated by humans, we have become adept at learning newer skills at coping with the challenges posed by our environment. Finding out the capabilities of fractured stone as holding a sharp edge may not seem like much from our current perspectives, but it literally meant survival for our early ancestors out on the early African Savannahs. Our Paleolithic ancestors' ability to harness fire and use it to their advantage was equally impressive for their time. This enabled them to evolve larger brains, as more time to use them suddenly became possible as the caves and dwellings were no longer dark after the sun set. These are just two examples of the way our ancestors have been able to overcome nature by cheating our counterparts in the Animal Kingdom out of a niche in the food chain. Some animals have adapted to our advancement in technology, as they became more elusive prey, however most did not. So history is written as the many mega-fauna as falling victim to the technological innovations of humans, providing us as a human species to evolve even greater capacities to take on even more challenges found in our environment.

Sometime during the Mesolithic Period, we became less dependent upon nomadism, and we became more sedentary, as advancements in agricultural technology allowed us to stay in places for much longer periods of time. This time period is known as the Neolithic Period. Surplus foodstuffs supplemented the need for high caloric meat intake from the more elusive game tracked down by nomadic hunters and gatherers. A stable staple replaced the need to move more often, and became the reliable food source necessary to create a more diverse diet for our ancestors. During this time, hunting and gathering still continued, although at a less intensive rate, which enabled for a larger concentration of more people at one place as opposed to the traveling bands of 15 to 30 people of hunting and gathering groups. Usually, people who relied upon agriculture as a staple were already in agriculturally conducive areas along navigable waterways and in rich soil floodplains. This enabled people to drink from the waters that provided them constant nourishment and sustenance necessary to a growing labor intensive ways of life. Situations of labor intensive isolation creates the need for power in the hands of a delegated few, and so formed the fundamental chiefdoms so common in early historic accounts in cuneiform, hieroglyphics, and other ancient forms of written texts. Somewhere around this time, our earliest accounts of human intellectual development provide us clues to the formation of religion, and so during this time religion formed. The transition into a literate society is otherwise known as the transition of prehistory into history. Our term for history delineates this most common technological revolution in human progressive advancement. Our current knowledge suggests that this as some 6,000 years ago in places like Ur in Mesopotamia, along the Nile Delta in Egypt, and in the Indus Valley in South Asia, to name a few. Technology grew and expanded, creating the possibility of leadership, responsibility, and coercion and control, which all equaled power in the hands of a few, and the exploitation of many. Deities formed in the minds of men and women to explain the mysteries of the universe, and the natural phenomenon they witnessed on Earth. These deities differed from culture to culture, as the father sun and the mother moon resonated in the collective consciences as plausible for making things on Earth grow for them at certain times of the year. There was no possible way that the reason for the perpetuation of sustaining large capacities of people was a result of an undocumented and otherwise unnoticeable advancement in technology since the dawn of humankind, because there was no history provided to them to make such assumptions. Therefore, everything that existed was undeniably a result of the Gods.

As we now know, because of our accumulated knowledge of human history, human behavior can be patterned, and the patterning of the need for religious dogma is no exception. Once in ancient times, it was easier to explain why we exist here on this planet, but as we now learn from the past, the mysteries of the universe only become more convoluted over time and are not as easily explainable as they once were. Philosophical reasoning takes precedence over the epistemic leaps to judgments and adherence to plausibility of the irrational. In short, belief is more untenable than the testing of laws and hypotheses. Due to an accumulation of history and knowledge, we are better suited to make decisions about our common human origins, which is unarguably a better position than our ancestors who had no historical knowledge. We are thus, better able to recognize the reasons for our existence on this planet, and are in a better position to argue, reason, and contemplate the mysteries of our universe than our Neolithic forefathers were. But yet, most people still today, choose to overlook one basic thing, which is to rely wholeheartedly upon the same religions that our ancestors had begun. Were they truly in a better position to make assumptions of naturally occurring phenomenon than we are today? I argue that the Gods that were in control of their world back then, and certainly not in control of our world now. Religion is a mere manifestation in the minds of men and women, and is no longer necessary in a world filled with dichotomous opposition. Were our Neolithic ancestors some 6, 000 years ago truly in a better position to know the Gods and religions that we still adhere to and perpetuate today? Are we beyond religion yet? In order to move toward a global peace effort to restore our world's environment, collapsing ozone atmosphere, and human cooperation and coexistence, we must strive to limit the powers of religion in the minds of men and women. The grand illusion in our minds is working against the cause toward global peace. Do we truly need religion in order to be kind to thy neighbor? No, we do not. I can function as a completely sane, honest, freethinking, kind individual in society, and not have any religious affiliation whatsoever. I abide by the ancient doctrine: do unto others as other would do unto you, which makes religion is no longer necessary.

I do not speak from an entirely irrational, biased atheist advocate perspective. Rather, I believe that our Creator is beyond our worldly comprehension and out of the reach of our current human cognitive and intellectual capabilities, and to suggest otherwise is a practice of futile hubris. We tend to forget that we are a part of our Animal Kingdom, one in which we as humans have become dominant. A good question is then, are we more spiritually advanced than any other members of the Animal Kingdom, and how do we know that we are? Religious discourses are only facilitated between those who can communicate them, hence the grand illusion in the minds of men and women made possible through human language. To entrust our whole lives and beliefs into what could quite possibly be false Gods could be nothing more than a grand waste of time and grandiose naiveté. Who is right to say that their particular brand of God is better than any other? I know that I am not ready to make that epistemic leap, for fear of perpetuating the very thing that I am deriding against. There is no question that religion has done nothing more than bring bloodshed and tyranny as we as humans perpetually jockey for position of global dominance and hegemony, in a world dictated by economies and advancement where the strong get stronger by preying upon the weak.

Although it may seem that I reason and argue against religion, I realize that a vitriolic condemnation of it all together is counterproductive and untenable. However, a greater awareness of the things around us and why they exist is what is essential to my message. I envision a future where science and the freedom to practice faiths coexist, as long as there is an awareness of this grand illusion enough to create commensurability between both religion and science. The practice of religion should not be criticized, but it should be recognized that history shows us that it is the root of all tyranny. The time has come for a checks and balance system to be put in place to guard against our human vulnerabilities of succumbing to religious dogma. Once we can recognize this grand illusion, we can begin to work together through the power of reason to move beyond our religious confinement embodied in the minds of men and women and finally strive to understand the mysteries of our universe. Why is it that humans are the only creatures on this planet that get to have a God? Are farmers Gods to the plants that they provide life? Are mothers and fathers Gods to their children that they give life? Do insects have Gods, or are they simply life-sustaining entities that make them pesky little creatures? Why are humans the only arrogant creatures to suggest that they even know what a God is? God is merely a word, a word in the minds of men and women strong enough to make people die for it.

In order to unlock the religious truths that some already proclaim to know, we must learn to work together through the form of reason to cooperate in a one-world unification where all people of all cultures coexist without the tyranny of our fellow brothers and sisters - one-world, one human species. We should strive to protect our Mother Earth, before we humans make the mistake of destroying not only our human species, but also everything else on this planet, mainly due to the misrecognition of our potential to do so. Now that we are here, on top of the world, dominating every living thing upon it, as well as ourselves, we cannot deny the fact that we are clearly headed in the direction of a steady decline with dire consequences. Unless we the people who have the power to do such drastic alterations to our planets environments strive to undo the effects that we have perpetuated, we will continue along our path of destruction until we no longer exist. We are our worst enemies, and it amazes me that we have the audacity to call ourselves intellectuals when we cannot even recognize this fundamental fact. Unless we work together to prolong our temporary stay on this rock we call planet Earth, then our temporary stay will be quickened in a global holocaust. Unless we strive to recognize and understand our human impact on this planet over the course of our human history on it, then we will have no foundation upon which to build any form of effort to counteract its decline. We must become aware that religion is only within our own consciences, and it is the only thing that keeps us from truly loving our global neighbors, something that I, someone with no religious burden, have no problem doing.

Abstract
Edward Sapir and Benjamin Whorf originally hypothesized that it is ‘language’ that determines our behavior. Their notion may be true to an extent, but I argue in this paper that it is not only ‘language,’ but Culture that determines our behavior.


Introduction
According to the Sapir/Whorf hypothesis, language determines behavior in humans. There are traditionally two versions to this notion. One is a less extreme form suggesting that language may influence behavior patterns in humans according to its various uses in normal human discursive practices. The more extreme version of the Sapir/Whorf hypothesis is rooted in the belief that language does indeed determine everything that we do, and therefore can be used to understand daily patterns of human behavior and even predict behavior patterns, both on an individual and collective societal level.
In this paper, I argue that focusing on ‘language’ alone as a behavioral determinant, is a severely narrow view of understanding the complexity of human behavior, and that it is not just ‘language’ that determines our behavior, but Culture that constrains our perspectives to limit the range of possible ways to act in the total cultural system. Language, no doubt, has a serious role to play in perpetuating culture (i.e. the very system in which constrains our behaviors), but it is not just language that creates Culture, but many other social phenomena that make up Culture that the Sapir/Whorf hypothesis seems to leave out.
In order to move forward, it is essential to define Culture and separate it according to two very different meanings. Culture is the social milieu in which all of the worlds’ various ethnic groups, or regionally different people, operate and perpetuate their traditional practices over time, including the socially acceptable customs, norms, mores, laws, beliefs, and values that are perpetuated through the daily activities facilitated by the use of unique language systems or language dialects. However, since there are many different “Cultures” in this world, and the United States of America prides itself on attracting emigrants from the worlds’ various cultural groups, I view “Culture” in America as having two entirely different meanings. One, Culture with a capital “C” is the total cultural system such as the often glossed over “American Culture.” Second, culture with a lower case “c” belongs to the cultural subsets within America – otherwise known as subcultures. In order to avoid the derogatory associations that follow with using the term “subculture,” I will avoid its use here. However, the meaning essentially remains the same. I use the term “culture” with a lower case “c” to carry the meaning of cultural systems that operate within the total “Cultural” system that operate within the United States of America. Because according to my lifetime observations as an active member of American society, I can argue that there are very distinct cultural groups that operate within the vast American Culture.
There are many different cultural groups that carry on traditional values and systems of practice brought with them from their traditional societies to America. America has always prided itself on the fact that it is able to attract emigrants from various societies from all over the world, offering people tastes of freedom that are otherwise unobtainable from their traditional homelands. People come from far and wide to seek out a better life in a system that offers much more than their own. Americans have touted the fact that the American cultural system of Democracy is the best, and the only way toward seeking a life of prosperity is the American Democracy. However, once foreigners arrive to America, they are faced with complex tasks of learning the English language, learning new social mores and norms of what is acceptable and what is not acceptable, and what is right and wrong according to the law. Learning all of the complex idiomatic expressions and meanings embedded within signs (roadways, billboards, etc.). They are faced with learning the kinesics, gestures, and semiotics of other people, and how they are to be interpreted or perceived by the ethnographic Other. One way to imagine this, is to briefly imagine from another person’s perspective of how difficult it might be to observe complex, fast-paced, rat-race society in perpetual motion, while not understanding any of it, and then throwing yourself into the fire of that rat-race society and fending for yourself, all the while trying to carry out the most basic, fundamental task of insuring your own survival. In effect – place yourself into the shoes of a foreigner, and imagine yourself in another society, trying to live and obtain the simplest thing such as water or food in order to survive. If you ask anyone who has had to adjust, go through these motions, and acclimatize themselves to American society, they will quickly learn that this is a rather daunting task.
Once the foreigner is here in America, it is quickly learned that the best way to learn about American Culture (i.e. the social mores, norms, values, customs, beliefs, etc.) is to learn them from others who speak your language. Often is the case, the people who speak the same language are fellow countrymen and women who are in very similar circumstances. These are people who bring with them the traditional Cultural values from your homeland, even if there are regional differences it is commonly acceptable to agree on very general aspects to the traditional Cultural values, and therefore form relationships to perpetuate those general values (which could become distorted over time and become slightly different from their original forms). So what is perceived by the typical American in this case, is an American who sees the foreigner who packs up with their foreign friends and extended families, just to live cheaply and continue the traditions of their families’ values. This stereotypical view is meant to be a skewed and biased perspective of the derogatory ‘foreigner.’ This view is oftentimes argued by extremist groups within the American Cultural system, extreme groups that argue that English should be the only language uttered in America, because it is inconvenient to be asked if they would like their telephone calls to be in Spanish, or time consuming to read at ATM machines whether or not they would like to use the English language. These views are similarly perpetuated amongst people who cannot tolerate foreigners, and are similarly bigoted in their worldviews, oftentimes not by choice, but because of lack of education, lack of understanding, or due to their inherent predisposition to stereotype others (i.e. anyone other than themselves become fair game to criticize under this mindset).
What generally happens under these circumstances are the easy to understand notions of dichotomous opposition: us versus them, white against black, with us or against us, Democrats versus Republicans. However which way one may see social and political issues, clear cut dichotomies between groups of opposition seem to form, and my example of different social groups and their adaptation to the American Culture is but one example. But what is interesting to note, is the fact that the foreign group I chose to use as they adapt to American Culture, was not entirely their own choice in perpetuating their own traditional Culture. They did it, and continue to do it today, out of necessity. Adapting to a new society is not easy, and it may take years of living within a society to master the complete and total Culture. What is important to recognize is that we must be cognizant of the way in which these cultures manifest, how they come about, and why they seemingly perpetuate their own social niches within the larger Culture of American society.
When stereotypes are used against other easy prey (i.e. people completely different or alien from the biased observers) form as a result of making fun of those who are different. Jokes are commonly used within groups as a way to lighten the mood, to be used as a construct to gain linguistic capital amongst the observers, if delivered properly - to reinforce ones’ status amongst the immediate speech group observers in which the speech act is being utilized: the joke is also used to see if the deliverer can see whether or not any new people within the immediate speech group is trustworthy or not, whether they share the same views as the deliverer. Therefore, the deliverer of the joke essentially sends out “feelers” within the discursive practice of the speech act. This also happens when people team up during a sporting event and quickly learn who is rooting for the other team when hands clap for certain plays. Also, the act of cracking a joke is a way to lighten the atmosphere but gain crucial information to see where people rest on certain issues, depending upon the nature of the joke’s content. To crack a joke about “liberals” per se, will and should generate a predictable response ready for immediate analysis by the deliverer. If, based on careful observation of the new person’s behavioral semiotics, kinesics, eye movements, facial gestures, response, eye dilation, breathing patterns, body movements, etc. – all are indications of where a person’s true values may rest on the entire notion of the derogatory connotation associated with using the term “liberals.” Ultimately, the deliverer can see where a new person sits with the use of the term in a derogatory sense, revealing implicit yet important clues about the new person within the speech group.
If the new person in the group laughs along seamlessly and flawlessly revealing no clues to siding with the “liberals,” then that new person may be deemed safe to practice and perpetually practice jokes about others outside of the immediate speech community, thus reinforcing the identity of the group practicing the stereotyping pattern.
It is natural human behavior to be with people of like kind, and to perpetuate one’s identity within a group of people where one will be accepted. Humans are social animals, and we strive to be a part of a group of people who share similar values and worldviews. However, it is very easy to become bigoted under these conditions as well. To continuously shut out the Other from the immediate speech community because one might not belong, or their hair might be too long, or they look like they are gay, or they might participate in sports that are not manly enough like cycling or soccer, or they may not laugh at the stereotypical joke about other ethnic groups, etc. – may completely and implicitly isolate the speech group from any necessary diversity that may assist in avoiding bigotry. In essence, language use in this instance is a determinant of human behavior, but it is also the Cultural system in which the culture operates, which sets the stage (or constrains the mentality of the cultural group/speech group) of the people implicitly perpetuating their particular worldview.
Whether it is the worldview of the emigrant that is perpetuated out of necessity in the adaptation process to the complex alien Culture that they are seemingly thrust into, or it is the perspective of the hateful and stereotypical person constantly seeking out new recruits and adherents to their particular brand of distorted world philosophy, people strive to be accepted within groups, establish an identity, and maintain that identity through methods of reinforcement simply because we are social animals who want to fit in somewhere. To wear a certain gang tattoo visible on one’s skin is a trademark of one’s social status or acceptance into a particular group. This is a lifelong bond, partly because it used to be the case, prior to tattoo removal methods, tattoos were seen as permanent markings on the skin. To get one was to commit to a lifetime of brotherhood into a particular gang. Now that one can get a tattoo physically removed, it is possible for one to physically and mentally remove themselves from the gang atmosphere and lifestyle without fear of recourse.
Once one is able to step outside of the comforts of their own worldview, and venture to stand into the shoes of another person to view the world from their eyes and point of view, then it may become possible to break down the stereotypical barriers that plague us today – the barriers that are perpetually reinforced by Culture, constrained by Culture, and ultimately determined by Culture. Once Culture changes by those who make minor changes to the total Cultural system, then the traditional and conservative practices of the past seemingly fade away, and tend to be old and stale practices that no longer fit in contemporary Culture, rejected and overturned by the youth of the next generation, the next generation of people who will ultimately perpetuate their own particular brand of worldview until another generation comes along to replace that one. Whatever the case may be what we know to be “truth” today will undoubtedly be falsified tomorrow.

Conclusions
According to the Sapir/Whorf hypothesis, “language” determines behavior. As a result, it has largely been accepted in academia even to today as a more or less valid hypothesis for a way to gain insight into the ever illusive understanding of human behavior. A less extreme form of the hypothesis is seen as language as possibly determining behavior by having some influence on the way people act within total Cultural Systems. Another more extreme form of the hypothesis suggests that language does indeed determine human behavior, and is ultimately the underlying factor for producing human behavior patterns. I argued in this paper using two examples that it is not simply the use of language in practice, which determines human behavior. Rather, it is the cultural system in which we operate and practice our worldviews, which are severely constrained by the Culture in which we practice those worldviews, is precisely what determines our human behavior. Culture is a manifestation of people through the use of language and many other symbolic phenomena like gestures, kinesics, semiotics, etc. Culture is also a manifestation of the simple fact that humans are social animals, and we each strive to be accepted in some form or another within a group of people who share and practice similar beliefs. Beliefs and views of the world are enculturated, instilled in us during our youth, or “found” when one reaches a level of understanding of the world later in life through education of life experiences. Whatever the case may be, human behavior can be cognitively expanded if one is open to the use of other languages, it broadens worldviews to venture into the unknown: to travel outside of one’s safety zone or immediate surroundings of their own home range, and step out into the world to view the world from another person’s perspective, should never be viewed as “liberal” in the derogatory sense. It should be celebrated.

Similarly, as I have presented above, people of Muslim nations also perpetuate patterned behaviors that are constrained by traditional practices. Islam and Islamic cultures of the Middle East place constraints on the people to make them have certain beliefs about the world, and those constraints create barriers for people to think beyond those walls. If one strives to overcome their own personal biases about the world, then it is also possible to reach beyond those constraints, and imagine a world beyond fighting and instability, to a far more distant and brighter future of mutual respect and cooperation on this planet. This is what I envision for the future of humankind.

I came to the conclusion that my ADD,is often making people wonder..,I would love to be able to express clearly where I stand,not that many are interested in what I say..,I, am the one that needs to see it. Its my growing experience,my pains and sorrows that come with life knowledge.
In some culture there is the feeling or belief that, any handicap takes you closer to God .
I hope is true because at the end I know I have many things and many views that makes me different as in...not many can really understand me and then...
I looked at the words Osama Bin Laden said ,posted on a link on the 23-03-2008.
I looked at the translation and all I see is a very sad man that looks at the injustice cosed on to Palestinians as a personal battle, as a duty to his own people, to all the Arabs that did not sell the soul, in his, and for many in God s view.
He had all he wanted.. his family was very wealthy...who, if not an activist would that ?, who would risk his life and lose the comfort of a cigar ,of a woman touch and a worm shelter, who would do that?
The one name that was sanctified was San Francesco d Assisi, he was considered a Saint because of his abandonment of material possessions and his luck of fear of animals and great understanding of them. I personally think that San Francis was a bit Kookoo but he was a good guy that disliked people and was a loner that preferred to be bear feet in the winter than dealing with other humans that probably heart him and scared him. At the time of his life http://www.ofm.org/1/info/Francis1.html this is what he did and endured ,he is now a Saint.

I am not saying that I appreciate Osama s views of women and his general hate for the Occident or respect him, he was probably not granted the time to grow and understand that his anger had deadly consequences that could only thicken the wall.
I am a feminist, I believe in equal rights...the thought of 19 children that never really had a father and 4 wives that he could never make totally happy...saddens me, for them and for him.
If he is alive... I wish him peace and understanding, if not... as well.
Understanding that the best way to succeed is by uniting forces.
Many in this time and age are getting educated, this beautiful invention that is the Internet was invented
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_some_information_about_the_invention_of_the_internet, but we can t justify any blind hatred or killings in name of anybody , not even in the name of the most oppressed of the oppressed....we need to give example and learn from example .
To kill a child who's only fault is to be born in the wrong place at the wrong time, to kill a woman who s only fault is to be protective of the son...is inhumane and barbaric and to kill a father, just because he is defending his family from abuse is obviously vulgar and unproductive a part from cruel and inhumane.
Please..let s all stop killing each other children...nature is already accelerating steps towards destruction...we don t need to make it even faster
I am praying in any way I can for total peace and total awareness for all of us ,every single creature...with out excuses we can become a better world.

The Internet needed time to evolve, to become faster, open and wide spread ....we humans do the same.
How many times we saw things that made us tell out loud to stop the wrong in any way ? . In many states of the Us,people think they are God, or at list , that God is talking to them , specially when killing in his name,in America ..we still have the death penalty.
How many times we hear of the our own voices screaming for the maximum penalty and for a lot of vengeance? How many time we screamed out loud watching the news, seeing babies being killed screaming for castration for paedophiles and lot s of other ideas of tortures? ...have we done it?
Would we be able to actually do what we screamed?, would we actually take a knife and dismember a paedophile ?
Probably not, at list ..not in cold blood, to condemn to death an opinion, to condemn a strong and horrible statement it s dangerous and unhealthy choice that I would happily not support, under Sharia law is done and in the US is sometimes done as well
If I think of how many times I said that I wanted my father dead...How many times I could have harmed him.. I don t believe in all that comes out of us when in pain, when we see injustice.
I don t take sides...I know that often the paedophile has been abused him self ,that the killer killed because probably scared or bullied in the past.
We are amazing creature...creatures that often can surprise our selves with what we can actually be and see.
How many of the people that where helping the poor Jews to run away from secure death have killed Gestapo soldiers to do so ?
We look at them differently because the enemy had a clear and visible uniform ,now ,for many countries the enemy lives with them, on the same land, often taking from it ,the majority of the resources
They don t always ware the uniforms, they often look like brothers and with out much noise thy create lot s of damage.
What do we aspect as an answer to that?
I understand that unfortunately many of the attacks against occupation caused horrible deaths to women and children, it is absolutely absurd for the majority of the western world to even get close to the understanding ,I am talking about the average westerner,even more so for people that are still in rural arias were often the worry.. is the food and the water for them self's and the family.
Seams to me that Muslims in rural areas have the same right to ignorance as the one we give to our own westerners.
I believe that any death caused out of grief, out of fear and out of UNFOUNDED RELIGIOUS VIEW ....had and will have, greater consequences that we could imagine.
Any death that is calculated...is a very cowardly solution. Is the way out of the bullies .
Humans often think that they have the right to take away what was created by GOD but only by direct orders, and sometimes the ones that do not believe act as superior creatures that have only rights and no duty whats o ever.
What a mess...
So ....we can go and push a button from the air or from the sea that causes hundred or thousands of death..but..when they, the inhabitant of a land with different costumes,costumes that infuriate us, with laws that are totally inhumane...we ...can kill children and women and then blame that on the native them self's...very bright of us, very civil.
We justify so much blood continuously but only when we are the one creating it
When somebody is ready to blow up them selves while killing as many enemies as possible ...they are terrorist.
Please can somebody explain why we have this clear distinction ?
We could all share resources and help each other ,using each other strainght ,water is more valuable than oil but many are to spoil ed to see it.

The more I see, the more I understand the anger that makes some become violent in thought and in actual retaliation ,only very enlighten human can endure unfairness and still remain pure and forgiving.
I admire those few, I truly respect them and try to learn from them.
I wish all of us some common sense and some forgiveness.
I may be crazy but ..again all I see in Osama Bin Laden is a lonely,heart broken man, that did what he thought could bring attention..not really to him but to his causes...instead the western world focused on the men,the one that was trying to get at list the Arabs on the same page.
I am not God I don t have the answers..just questions,I just hope to see involvement on the peace front from all sides before my eyes close for the last time.
I would love to see Muslim man and women honouring each other and helping each other wile growing older in total equality and lot s of love.
I wish to see the Palestinian territory as healthy and wealthy as the Israeli one and the end of the wall that reminds me way to much of the Berlin one.
I wounder why we as human are slower to learn than an octopus.http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=29679381
I wounder why we don t share our resources at a Government level, if is true that the best teacher is the one that operates by example....what is going on with all those Governments that think they are Superior than others ?
So..if we want others to become more knowledgeable...we need to show what we would like them to be.
How many times adult smokers tell children not to do it? How many times does it work?
So..here i am wondering what happened to us? Why we can t see that what we preach and long for ,is the same in the small and in the big scale, that the little injustice of every day life and our reactions to them could be applayd as well to the bigger picture, the international one.
We teach our children in the way we now know to be better , by example not as it was when I was small.
At the time teachers would hit your hands with a ruler made out of wood, they thought as the Muslim did, and how unfortunately many still do by practising and supporting Sharia law .
The teacher thought that fear would enlighten their head and looks like Sharia punishments for many, is the way, or better, they have the illusion as many western teacher did that the body pain enlighten the souls.
FEAR, only fear...as the cat will turn around and scratch you if you scare it, as we human will .
If we stop justifying our mistakes and we start taking responsibility and start giving example... the sooner our race will flourish.
We are all in the same boat, we all have a heart even if under cover and that is really the human strainght.
ECONOMICAL EQUALITY
GENDER EQUALITY
LIFE RIGHT EQUALITY we are all mammals that refuse to see our self's as we are; connected...necessary and beautiful.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyuF3UkFQ5o please just think...we bleed in the same way, we are all made in gran part by water ,we need it to survive even more than oil .
With out oil we will still survive....our Great grandfather and Great Grand mother did ,many still do but ...with out water.... we all dye.
Some think that they have the power because of the dependence of others...let s take away our dependency..or exchange it as all the sons and daughters of God do.
My door is always open for the hungry and the thirsty, my heart is always open for the ones that are in need of a word or an ear and my mind is there to make the best use as possible of all my other senses.
We are a beautiful machines that need a tuneup, all of us,not just the ones that we call terrorist, that in my view no matter what, are still soldiers of an enemy country, of an enemy of God as we are to them ,no more, no less.
